He knows what we are looking for and then some! We go out to load, and we are always met with eager folks to help pick a load! Viking Lumber is a valuable resource in mid-coast Maine. I needed help with re-building a rock sea wall.
They took my info, and the individual was waiting for me before I even got home! Prologue: Viking Lumber steered me straight. I have a beautiful sea wall to prove it! They also didn't make a dime. That's my kind of company. Hands down, the best lumber store on the planet. Every interaction, every delivery, every time.
Thank you, Viking! My dad just came by to pick up pallets. Not only were they free, but the staff helped me load them in my truck. Excellent customer service! We are taking the following protective measures: Our team is doing the following to keep everyone safe and stop the spread: Increased frequency of cleaning and sanitizing. Washing hands. Staying home at any sign of a cough, congestion, fever, or other cold or flu-like symptoms.
They have little protection against 20 …………………, which means that they decay relatively quickly. But this is not always the case. If temperatures are low enough, fragile artefacts can be preserved for thousands of years. A team of archaeologists have been working in the mountains in Oppland in Norway to recover artefacts revealed by shrinking ice cover.
In the past, there were trade routes through these mountains and 21 ………………… gathered there in the summer months to avoid being attacked by 22 ………………… on lower ground. The people who used these mountains left things behind and it is those objects that are of interest to archaeologists. Write the correct letters in boxes 23 and 24 on your answer sheet. A Artefacts found in the higher mountain passes were limited to skiing equipment. B Hunters went into the mountains even during periods of extreme cold.
C The number of artefacts from certain time periods was relatively low. D Radiocarbon dating of artefacts produced some unreliable results. E More artefacts were found in Oppland than at any other mountain site. Write the correct letters in boxes 25 and 26 on your answer sheet. A Hunters at this time benefited from an increased demand for goods.
B The beginning of the period saw the greatest growth in the wealth of Vikings C Vikings did not rely on ships alone to transport goods. D Norwegian towns at this time attracted traders from around the world.
E Vikings were primarily interested in their trading links with the Middle East. You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.
A photoreceptor molecule in plant cells has been found to have a second job as a thermometer after dark — allowing plants to read seasonal temperature changes.
Scientists say the discovery could help breed crops that are more resilient to the temperatures expected to result from climate change. Researchers have revealed that molecules called phytochromes — used by plants to detect light during the day — actually change their function in darkness to become cellular temperature gauges that measure the heat of the night.
The new findings, published in the journal Science, show that phytochromes control genetic switches in response to temperature as well as light to dictate plant development. The warmer it is, the faster the molecular change — stimulating plant growth.
C Farmers and gardeners have known for hundreds of years how responsive plants are to temperature: warm winters cause many trees and flowers to bud early, something humans have long used to predict weather and harvest times for the coming year. The latest research pinpoints for the first time a molecular mechanism in plants that reacts to temperature — often triggering the buds of spring we long to see at the end of winter.
D With weather and temperatures set to become ever more unpredictable due to climate change, researchers say the discovery that this light-sensing molecule also functions as the internal thermometer in plant cells could help us breed tougher crops. Key crops such as wheat and rice are sensitive to high temperatures. E In their active state, phytochrome molecules bind themselves to DNA to restrict plant growth.
During the day, sunlight activates the molecules, slowing down growth. If a plant finds itself in shade, phytochromes are quickly inactivated — enabling it to grow faster to find sunlight again.
Instead of a rapid deactivation following sundown, the molecules gradually change from their active to inactive state. This is why plants are slower to grow in winter. G Some plants mainly use day length as an indicator of the reason. Other species, such as daffodils, have considerable temperature sensitivity, and can flower months in advance during a warm winter.
A warmer spring, and consequently a higher likeliness of a hot summer, will result in oak leafing before ash. When the markets are reopened, it is likely that speculation will resume vigorously. This was unexpected given that piassava inflorescences, when vigorously shaken, release clouds of dry pollen.
This book is extensively researched, vigorously and entertainingly written, and full of ideas. That is what he himself vigorously maintained in a conversation in when challenged about his activities in the recent session. Since the mids such demands have been vigorously debated and have resulted in constitutional reforms and a proliferation of secondary legislation. The tragedy was that the more patently its policy failed, the more vigorously it was pursued by government.
This unhappy state was the result of antidemocratic policies vigorously pursued and enforced by means of terror and repression. Most, in fact, would reject it vigorously as an anachronism. Investors prefer more to less and, hence, would vigorously exploit any perceived arbitrage opportunities. See all examples of vigorously.
